Lord Clenaghcastle won over a longer trip here in July and went close again back at the track last month. But FAVOURITE ROYAL had Munfallet back in third when scoring over track and trip last time and she’s taken to defy a 3lb rise. Black Caesar makes a quick reappearance having returned a losing favourite at Brighton on Monday but Bumptious is holding her form well and won at the latter track on her penultimate start. Colonel Frank should be sharper for a recent belated comeback at Goodwood and this is easier.
